Desire Path (2020)

I just now submitted my review of Taryn Hubbard's debut poetry collection Desire Path (Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2020) to The Ormsby Review. Watch for it in the days to come [now here, ed.]. In the meantime, a short untitled piece that appears at the end the book, but does not appear on the "Contents" pages. A hidden track, as it were.

I’ll call to tell the rust I’m growing you is beautiful

and blooming on the busted spokes

of the shopping cart I untangled

from the blackberry bush overtaking the ditch.
